About GRE

The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is a globally recognized standardized test required for admission to a wide range of master’s, MBA, and doctoral (PhD) programs. Conducted by ETS (Educational Testing Service), USA, the GRE is designed to assess a candidate’s analytical writing, quantitative reasoning, and verbal reasoning skills, which are essential for success in graduate-level academic study.

The GRE is accepted by thousands of universities and programs worldwide, including institutions in the USA, Canada, the UK, Europe, Australia, and Asia. Unlike subject-specific exams, the GRE evaluates critical thinking and problem-solving abilities that apply across disciplines such as engineering, science, humanities, social sciences, and business.

GRE Test Structure Overview

The GRE General Test evaluates academic readiness through three major sections.

GRE Sections:

Quantitative Reasoning (2 sections – 47 minutes total):

Arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and data analysis
Evaluates problem-solving and quantitative interpretation skills

Total Test Duration: Approximately 1 hour 58 minutes

Test Design: Section-level adaptive (difficulty adjusts based on performance within sections)

Quantitative Reasoning	130 - 170	Reflects analytical and mathematical problem-solving ability
Analytical Writing	0 - 6	Measures clarity, coherence, and critical thinking in writing
